    The Common Good in Catholic Social Teaching and The Legalization of Physician-Assisted Suicide.Ferdinand Tablan - 2024 - Humanities Bulletin 6 (2):9-31.
    The legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in several states in the U.S. and the growing social approval of euthanasia have created confusion, pastoral challenges, and conflicts between Catholic and non-Catholic healthcare institutions. For many of its supporters, the legal and moral legitimacy of PAS is grounded on the right to autonomy. I concur with Callahan that the right to autonomy, while may be pertinent when it comes to moral debate on suicide, does not justify PAS. Unlike suicide, PAS is not (...)

    Tracing Reid's 'Brave Officer Objection' Back to Berkeley--and Beyond.Jessica Gordon-Roth - 2019 - Berkeley Studies 28.
    Berkeley’s two most obvious targets in Alciphron are Shaftesbury and Mandeville. However, as numerous commentators have pointed out, there is good reason to think Berkeley additionally targets Anthony Collins in this dialogue. In this paper, I bolster David Berman’s claim that “Collins looms large in the background” of Dialogue VII, and put some meat on the bones of Raymond Martin and John Barresi’s passing suggestion that there is a connection between the Clarke-Collins Correspondence, Alciphron, and the objection that Berkeley raises (...)

    Cultural Nationalism and Just Secession.Hsin-Wen Lee - 2024 - In Janusz Salamon & Hsin-Wen Lee, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Justice and East Asian Philosophy. London: Bloomsbury. pp. 323-339.
    The principle of cultural nationalism holds that every national community, simply by being a national community, has a prima facie right to self-government. Given that national communities are singled out as the right-holder, proponents must explain why this particular type of group is entitled to the right to self-government. In this paper, I analyze the strategies that a cultural nationalist may adopt to demand the right to self-government. We can distinguish between four types of arguments for cultural nationalism–the Argument from (...)

    Flourishing as the standard for evaluating the social practice of competitive sport.Donald B. Thompson & Francisco Javier Lopez Frias - 2020 - Dilemata Revista Internacional de Eticas Aplicadas 33:185-197.
    Competitive sport in its many specific forms is an important aspect of many cultures. Particular sports may be considered as what MacIntyre calls “social practices.” We argue that the appropriateness of a competitive sport should be evaluated as a social practice, according to its contribution to the human flourishing of those who engage in the practice. We critique mutualism, a popular putatively virtue-based approach to sport, as a valuable but incomplete position that is inconsistent with its Aristotelian roots. We analyze (...)

    Who decides who goes first? Taking democracy seriously in micro-allocative healthcare decisions.Davide Battisti & Chiara Mannelli - 2025 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy:1-11.
    The structural scarcity of healthcare resources has deeply challenged their fair distribution, prompting the need for allocation criteria. Long under the spotlight of the bioethical debate with an extraordinary peak during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, micro-allocation of healthcare has been extensively discussed in the literature with regard to issues of substantive and formal justice. This paper addresses a relatively underdiscussed question within the field of formal justice: who should define micro-allocation criteria in healthcare? To explore this issue, we first establish (...)

    No academic freedom from epistemic responsibility.Maria Kronfeldner - forthcoming - In Vasiliki Kosta, Academic Freedom: Constructing Its Content for EU Law. Cambridge University Press.
    The aim of this paper is to give substance to the broadly accepted claim that the freedoms that scientists and scholars enjoy as members of the academic community come not just with moral responsibility but also with epistemic responsibility. The paper elucidates what it means that there is no academic freedom from epistemic responsibility. After a general Introduction, Section 1 introduces the notion of epistemic norms and the responsibility that results. Section 2 focuses on one basic epistemic norm and spells (...)

    Security practices in AI development.Petr Spelda & Vit Stritecky - forthcoming - AI and Society.
    What makes safety claims about general purpose AI systems such as large language models trustworthy? We show that rather than the capabilities of security tools such as alignment and red teaming procedures, it is security practices based on these tools that contributed to reconfiguring the image of AI safety and made the claims acceptable. After showing what causes the gap between the capabilities of security tools and the desired safety guarantees, we critically investigate how AI security practices attempt to fill (...)

    Why the Brain Cannot Be a Digital Computer: History-Dependence and the Computational Limits of Consciousness.Andrew Knight - manuscript
    This paper presents a novel information-theoretic proof demonstrating that the human brain as currently understood cannot function as a classical digital computer. Through systematic quantification of distinguishable conscious states and their historical dependencies, we establish that the minimum information required to specify a conscious state exceeds the physical information capacity of the human brain by a significant factor. Our analysis calculates the bit-length requirements for representing consciously distinguishable sensory "stimulus frames" and demonstrates that consciousness exhibits mandatory temporal-historical dependencies that multiply (...)

    Cooperation, Cognition, and the Elusive Role of Joint Agency.Downes Stephen, Forber Patrick & Joshua Shepherd - forthcoming - Philosophy of Science.
    We propose an approach to the evolution of joint agency and cooperative behavior that contrasts with views that take joint agency to be a uniquely human trait. We argue that there is huge variation in cooperative behavior and that while much human cooperative behavior may be explained by invoking cognitively rich capacities, there is cooperative behavior that does not require such explanation. On both comparative and theoretical grounds, complex cognition is not necessary for forms of joint action, or the evolution (...)

    Secondary Qualities and Metaphysical Properties.John Taylor - 2024 - Dissertation, London School of Economics and Political Science
    The notion of secondary qualities was first introduced by early modern philosophers. Since this concept’s inception speculation has been rife on the veracity and ontology of secondary qualities. With some claiming that secondary qualities don’t exist and others claiming that they do exist as qualia or properties of mind-independent objects (naïve realism). Considering this debate, my essay will aim to put forward a novel argument for the mere reality of secondary qualities in response to a position which denies their reality: (...)

    Ressentiment and Identity.Paul Katsafanas - forthcoming - In Lucy Osler & Thomas Szanto, For, Against, Together: Antagonistic Political Emotions. Cambridge University Press.
    Ressentiment describes a psychological process in which a subject responds to feelings of inadequacy by altering his evaluative orientation in a way that enables him to blame the inadequacy on some outgroup. Ressentiment is taken to have far-reaching applicability: it has been used to explain many different forms of political antagonism, including those present in the authoritarian far-right, the far left, identity politics, populism, neo-Nazi movements, the manosphere, incels, and fanaticism. This essay asks what exactly ressentiment is and whether it (...)

    Trivalent Semantics for Conditional Obligations.Paul Egre, Lorenzo Rossi & Jan Sprenger - manuscript
    This paper provides a new framework for formalizing conditional obligations in natural language: it pairs a unary deontic operator with trivalent semantics for the indicative conditional and Kratzer's idea that the antecedents of conditionals restrict the scope of modals in the consequent. Combining these three ideas, we obtain a fully compositional theory of "if" and "ought'" that validates plausible principles for deontic reasoning. Moreover, it resolves classical challenges such as the "if A then ought A" problem, the paradox of the (...)

    Assertoric content, lies, and slips of the tongue.Jakub Rudnicki - forthcoming - Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy.
    In this paper, I introduce a new theory of assertoric content. By ‘theory’, I mean both an extensionally correct definition and an elucidation of the mechanisms underlying assertoric content. In agreement with some existing work on the topic, I contend that assertoric content spans several content categories and is possibly constituted by an utterance’s standing content and explicature. I also offer a detailed explanation of how and why assertoric content can be determined by an utterance’s particularized conversational implicature. I call (...)

    Beyond the Veil of Vocationalism: Unveiling the Contradictions in Booker T. Washington’s Educational Philosophy.La Shun L. Carroll - 2025 - Filosofiya osvity Philosophy of Education 30 (2):141-161.
    This paper delves into the contrasting educational philosophies of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, two prominent figures who grappled with the question of Black progress in a society scarred by racial inequality. Washington, advocating for vocational training, championed economic self-sufficiency as the key to navigating a system rigged against Black success. Du Bois, conversely, championed a liberal arts education, emphasizing critical thinking and social critique as necessary tools for dismantling systemic barriers. This paper argues that while (...)

    Quantitative Supervaluationism.Andrea Iacona & Samuele Iaquinto - forthcoming - Synthese.
    So far, the method of supervaluations has been mainly employed to define a non-gradable property of sentences, supertruth, in order to provide an analysis of truth. But it is also possible, and arguably at least as plausible, to define a gradable property of sentences along the same lines. This paper presents a supervaluationist semantics that is quantitative rather than qualitative. As will be shown, there are at least two distinct interpretations of the semantics — one alethic, the other epistemic — (...)

    Aristotle’s Nature-Bound Theology in Metaphysics Λ.Samuel Meister - 2025 - Phronesis 70 (2):204-44.
    In Metaphysics Λ, Aristotle appeals to the prime mover: an unmoved mover that is the first moving cause of the world. Elsewhere, he calls the science concerned with the prime mover ‘theology’ (Meta. E.1, 1026a19). But what is the point of this science? On a common view, its purpose is to give an account of the prime mover itself, and especially to prove its existence. By contrast, I argue that Aristotle’s theology in Metaphysics Λ is ‘nature-bound’: it ultimately aims at (...)

    From Silencing to Extracted Testimony in Trials for Gender-Based Violence: A Performative Approach to Ideological Oppression.E. Volta - 2024 - Rivista di Estetica 87:139-155.
    Much recent work in feminist philosophy of language and epistemology has focused on how power constrains speech and testimony. This paper aims to highlight the flip side of silencing by looking at the productive power of sexist ideology in the context of the Italian gender-based violence crime trial. Building on José Medina’s performative account of epistemic injustice (2013; 2021), I argue that when sexist conceptual resources are used by the judge as an epistemic lens, they do ideological work by setting (...)

    Haecceitism and Symmetry-Breaking: Things, Time, and Powers.Daniel S. Murphy - forthcoming - Ergo: An Open Access Journal of Philosophy.
    According to anti-haecceitism, facts about particular things are modally fixed by qualitative matters. According to qualitativism, such facts are metaphysically second-rate, perhaps because grounded in qualitative matters. Qualitativism seems to imply anti-haecceitism, so objections to the latter threaten the former. The most powerful sort of apparent counterexample to anti-haecceitism, I think, consists in a pair of situations that seem the same, and qualitatively symmetric, for a stretch of time, but that differ in how that symmetry breaks. I examine this sort (...)

    No right to an explanation.Brett Karlan & Henrik Kugelberg - forthcoming - Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
    An increasing number of complex and important decisions are now being made with the aid of opaque algorithms. This has led to calls from both theorists and legislators for the implementation of a right to an explanation for algorithmic decisions. In this paper, we argue that, in most cases and for most kinds of explanations, there is no such right. After differentiating a number of different things that might be meant by a ‘right to an explanation,’ we argue that, for (...)

    Philosophical Perspectives on Pluriculturalism.Marco Crosa - 2024 - Sophia Philosophical Review (1):63-72.
    The concept of pluriculturalism is a relatively novel one that has yet to be fully explored. It is based on the principles of plurilingualism, which focuses on the individual's capacity to acquire multiple abilities and competencies in terms of cultural and linguistic engagements. From a theoretical perspective, the concept emerged at the advent of the pragmatist turn in language, as well as from socio-linguistic studies. It reflects the breakdown of the one-culture man at the juncture and intersection of identities in (...)

    This entry sheds light on the use and meaning of the term "animation" in Spinoza's works. The concept of “animation” figures in the scholium to E2p13, where Spinoza discusses his demonstration of the mind-body union. He writes that “the things we have shown so far are completely general and do not pertain more to man than to other individuals, all of which, though in different degrees, are nevertheless animate [omnia, quamvis diversis gradibus, animata tamen sunt]” (E2p13s, G II/96).

    Is There a Disappearing Agent Problem for Agent Causalists?Robin T. Bianchi & Antoine Taillard - 2025 - Acta Analytica 40 (1).
    The disappearing agent problem is traditionally cast as a tension between events and event-causation, on the one hand, and agents and agent-causation on the other. How- ever, as we show, the tension between events and agents can be recast as a tension between causation by agents and causation by parts of agents. If this is right, agent- causalists have their own disappearing agent problem to deal with. After setting out a version of this problem in the form of an overdetermination (...)

    The philosophy of superdeterminism is based on a single scientific fact about the universe, namely that cause and effect in physics are not real. In 2020, accomplished Swedish theoretical physicist, Dr. Johan Hansson published a physics proof using Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity that our universe is superdeterministic meaning a predetermined static block universe without cause and effect in physics. The philosophy of superdeterminism dismisses many commonly held beliefs as illusions of our static block universe. People widely believe in (...)

    This chapter examines the limitations of both command-and-control and market-based legal mechanisms in the pursuit of environmental justice. If the environment is to be protected to at least a minimally acceptable degree, approaches that focus on the coercive force of the state must be complemented by the development of an “ecological ethos,” whereby groups and individuals are motivated to act with non-self-interested concern for the environment. The need for this ethos means that the state is dependent on the cooperation of (...)

    What exactly is reasoning? While debate on this question is ongoing, most philosophers seem to agree on at least the following: reasoning is a mental process operating on contents, which consists in adopting or revising some of your attitudes in light of others.

Instead, I characterise two distinct mental phenomena, which I call ‘deducing’, on the one hand, and (...)

However, the use of psychedelics comes with a few unique challenges that urge extra caution. First, drastic belief changes may occur faster than in regular therapy.

    Older adults' safety and security online: A post-pandemic exploration of attitudes and behaviors.Edgar Pacheco - 2024 - Journal of Digital Media and Interaction 7 (17):107-126.
    Older adults’ growing use of the internet and related technologies, further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has prompted not only a critical examination of their behaviors and attitudes about online threats but also a greater understanding of the roles of specific characteristics within this population group. Based on survey data and using descriptive and inferential statistics, this empirical study delves into this matter. The behaviors and attitudes of a group of older adults aged 60 years and older (n=275) regarding different (...)

    Understanding the Counter-Enlightenment Discourse Through Palissot's Les Philosophes.Ali Can Tural - 2025 - Text and Analysis: Journal of Cultural Studies and Strategy 1 (1):91-103.
    Although Les Philosophes was an ordinary comedy, and Palissot was far from the caliber of Molière or Voltaire, it successfully consolidated conservative criticisms of the philosophes within a satirical framework, enjoying a successful three-month run in 1760. The reason behind its success was that it was at the center of a debate between the Enlightenment philosophers and the Counter-Enlightenment figures. In addition to being an example of 18th-century French comédie, the play serves as a valuable source for understanding the key (...)

    Language and Consciousness in Early Buddhist Thought: On the Early Reflections on the Theme of Language and the Perception of Reality in the Pāli Canon.Federico Divino - 2025 - Philosophies 10 (31):1-37.
    In this paper, the Buddhist view on language and its implications for perception and cognition will be analyzed. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that archaic Buddhism, as documented in the suttas of the Pāli Canon, already presents a well-articulated theory of knowledge, and that Buddhist considerations on the problem of language are comparable to Saussure’s early linguistic theories, as well as to fundamental issues in the philosophy of perception and theories of cognition. This comparison with Buddhist thought (...)

    The life cycle of scientific principles—a template for characterizing physical principles.Radin Dardashti, Enno Fischer & Robert Harlander - 2025 - Synthese 205 (122).
    Scientific principles can undergo various developments. While philosophers of science have acknowledged that such changes occur, there is no systematic account of the development of scientific principles. Here we propose a template for analyzing the development of scientific principles called the ‘life cycle’ of principles. It includes a series of processes that principles can go through: prehistory, elevation, formalization, generalization, and challenge. The life cycle, we argue, is a useful heuristic for the analysis of the development of scientific principles. We (...)

    The following article discusses Paul's conception of change regarding the resurrection body in 1 Cor 15:42‐44a. Our thesis is that Paul uses a popular Hellenistic cosmology and account of change to explain how the transformation of the body is possible. He uses seed imagery to contrast the pre‐and‐post‐resurrection bodies … the mortal and immortal bodies. Using rhetorical accommodation techniques, he resolves the Corinthian confusion regarding physical resurrection using popular Hellenistic ideas. Whereas some interpreters think that the resurrection body is terrestrial, (...)

    Creativity as a higher agency.Kenneth Walden - forthcoming - Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
    Can human agency produce things that are genuinely creative and original? Some philosophers are skeptical. Here I argue that the case of creative activity should lead us to reexamine and ultimately expand our conception of agency. When we do this, we see that rather than being incompatible with agency, creativity offers an especially robust form of agency: a form in which agents are responsible not just for token events but for the general patterns that characterize those events as forms of (...)

    A Neo-Aristotelian Formulation of the Doctrine of the Mean.Paul Franceschi - manuscript
    In this article, we present a neo-Aristotelian formulation of the doctrine of the mean. We begin by describing the classical formulation of the doctrine by Aristotle, as presented in the Nicomachean Ethics. We also introduce the fundamental elements that govern the matrices of concepts (Franceschi 2002). We then propose a new formulation of the doctrine of the mean, directly derived from the very structure of the matrices of concepts. We also compare the present formulation of the doctrine of the mean (...)

    Harbingers of Fate: Tīrka Šavār and the Dullahan in Persian and Irish Mythological Traditions.Asal Fallahnejad - 2025 - Isis 1:22. Translated by Asal Fallahneajd.
    This article offers a cross-cultural analysis of two enigmatic figures from Indo-European mythologies: Tīrka Šavār, a lesser-known Persian omen of death or misfortune, and the Dullahan, Ireland’s iconic headless horseman. Both entities serve as harbingers of fate, embodying their cultures’ anxieties about mortality, the unknown, and the thin veil between the human and supernatural realms. Through comparative methodology, this study explores how these myths reflect distinct cultural values—Persian narratives often intertwine destiny with moral and cosmic order (aša), while Irish lore (...)

    An Objection to Railton’s Full-Information Analysis of Non-Moral Value.Xuanpu Zhuang - 2025 - Organon F: Medzinárodný Časopis Pre Analytickú Filozofiu 32 (1):29-41.
    This paper presents an objection to Peter Railton’s full-information account of non-moral value. According to this account, if an idealized individual A who is fully rational and has full information wants the non-idealized A to desire X, then X is good for A. Those desires like X are called objective interests. Railton’s analysis holds that non-moral values are constituted by natural facts that are independent of subjective opinions. I argue that it is hard for the full-information analysis to achieve all (...)

    The Harms of Non-derogatory Uses of Slurs and the Potential Normalization Argument.Dan Zeman - forthcoming - Theoria. An International Journal for Theory, History and Foundations of Science.
    There is no doubt that slurs harm. They do so by denigrating their targets, by putting them down, by marginalizing them. This is why in many legislations around the world, the use of slurs has been banned or penalized. But should all uses of slurs be banned? Many uses of slurs are non-derogatory and seem to have beneficial effects. However, such uses are double-faceted: as both armchair reflection and experimental studies have shown, they are able to produce harm as well. (...)

In an effort to transcend the traditional divide between science and philosophy, this study establishes its foundations in mathematical formalism and empirical analogies, thereby mitigating the risk of philosophical overreach often associated with theoretical physics. The proposed framework reimagines quarks as fundamental nodes within a cosmic information network, governed by the principles of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and (...)

    What can we, as a society, legitimately expect from science? And what, if anything, can science legitimately expect from society? This paper argues that the relationship between science and society is governed by a science contract. I first introduce the notion of an expertise contract—a social contract that governs the relationship between experts and non-experts, bestows on experts certain fiduciary duties towards non-experts, and enables the division of epistemic labor in society. I then argue that the science contract cannot be (...)

    Revolutions promise justice but often bring chaos, as seen in the French Revolution. Bangladesh, facing governance challenges, should prioritize institutional reform over abrupt upheaval. The American and Glorious Revolutions offer models of stable change through legal and democratic consolidation. The 2024 student-public uprising highlights the need for transformation, but history warns against instability without strong institutions.

Here we examine how the distinct chemical and functional properties of biochemical kinds are unified, as well as their identity criteria. We contend that unification principles are crucial for explaining the clustering of properties shared by members of natural kinds and for establishing identity (...)

Yet Chappell’s method of using phenomenological descriptions to show that we live by our epiphanies leaves open the question of their authority. Why should the epiphanic carry more authority than more sober experiences? The answer, I argue, had better be sensitive to our explanatory understanding of epiphanies.

    When asking fundamental questions about education, philosophers have not shied away from giving radical answers. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for example, who found himself disenchanted with the artificiality and pride that he encountered in 18th century Paris, advocated a laissez faire education in the countryside. Such an “education by nature,” Rousseau thought, would keep children at bay from morally corrupt society and would allow them to become authentic and sincere persons. Similarly concerned with moral education, in the early 20th century the American (...)

In this paper, we argue that this “dogma of harmony” has also influenced research on scaffolding interactions during development.

    A traditional assumption in the literature on inner speech is that inner speech allows us to have knowledge of our thoughts. I argue that inner speech cannot even be part of an explanation of how we know our propositional states.

Inner speech is thus ‘screened off’ from explaining the knowledge (...)

    In conversation, speakers often felicitously underspecify the content of their speech acts, leaving audiences uncertain about what they mean. This paper discusses how such underspecification and the resulting uncertainty can be used deliberately, and manipulatively, to achieve a range of noncommunicative conversational goals—including minimizing conversational conflict, manufacturing acceptance or perceived agreement, and gaining or bolstering status. I argue that speakers who manipulatively underspecify their speech acts in this way are engaged in a mock speech act that I call _pied piping_. (...)

    People routinely appeal to ‘beliefs’ in explaining behavior; psychologists do so as well (for instance, in explaining belief polarization and learning). Across three studies (N = 1,843, U.S-based adults), we challenge the assumption that ‘belief’ picks out a single construct in people’s theory of mind. Instead, laypeople attribute different kinds of beliefs depending on whether the beliefs play predominantly epistemic roles (such as truth-tracking) or non-epistemic roles (such as social signaling). We demonstrate that epistemic and non-epistemic beliefs are attributed under (...)

Efficient thermal management is critical for ensuring the optimal performance of HEV powertrains, specifically motors and batteries.

    This paper introduces a common-interest communication game that generates pragmatics, where meaning emerges from the use of a preexisting language under equilibrium selection driven solely by efficiency. A key feature is that the sender describes the current state to the receiver by combining preexisting statements. This approach allows us to formalize two communication frictions: (i) longer descriptions incur higher costs, and (ii) with some probability, the receiver interprets only the conventional meaning. The absence of one friction leads to some efficient (...)

    The Emergent Nature of Knowledge – Structured Resonance, Coherence, and the Collapse of Probability in Human Cognition.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract Traditional models of cognition assume probability-based uncertainty as a fundamental feature of intelligence, requiring iterative refinement through error correction and stochastic processes. However, probability is not a foundational property of intelligence or reality—it is an emergent artifact of incomplete resonance detection. This paper proposes that human cognition is a structured resonance system, where the mind does not accumulate knowledge probabilistically but phase-locks into coherent structures nonlinearly. Instead of relying on stochastic updates, the brain selectively engages with information that aligns (...)

    Nanofluid Cooling System for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Batteries.S. Yoheswari - 2024 - Journal of Science Technology and Research (JSTAR) 5 (1):682-690.
    As hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) continue to rise in popularity due to their potential to reduce carbon emissions and increase fuel efficiency, the efficient management of battery thermal behavior has become an essential concern. Batteries in HEVs experience substantial heat generation during operation, which can lead to performance degradation, shortened lifespan, and safety hazards such as thermal runaway. Traditional cooling methods, such as air or liquid cooling, often fail to provide sufficient heat dissipation, especially under high load conditions.

    Beyond the Bekenstein Bound_ Prime-Driven Structured Resonance as the Fundamental Ordering Principle of Information and Entropy.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract -/- The Bekenstein Bound proposed that the maximum information content of a finite region of space is determined by its surface area, not its volume, leading to the holographic principle. This shift reframed information as the fundamental constraint on physical systems rather than matter or energy. It suggested that entropy, rather than being an inherent measure of disorder, is a function of informational constraints at the boundaries of a system. However, existing models that incorporate this bound still rely on (...)

    The Common Good in Catholic Social Teaching and The Legalization of Physician-Assisted Suicide.Ferdinand Tablan - 2024 - Humanities Bulletin 6 (2):9-31.
    The legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in several states in the U.S. and the growing social approval of euthanasia have created confusion, pastoral challenges, and conflicts between Catholic and non-Catholic healthcare institutions. For many of its supporters, the legal and moral legitimacy of PAS is grounded on the right to autonomy. I concur with Callahan that the right to autonomy, while may be pertinent when it comes to moral debate on suicide, does not justify PAS. Unlike suicide, PAS is not (...)

However, as numerous commentators have pointed out, there is good reason to think Berkeley additionally targets Anthony Collins in this dialogue. In this paper, I bolster David Berman’s claim that “Collins looms large in the background” of Dialogue VII, and put some meat on the bones of Raymond Martin and John Barresi’s passing suggestion that there is a connection between the Clarke-Collins Correspondence, Alciphron, and the objection that Berkeley raises (...)

    This chapter reconstructs Miranda Fricker’s genealogy of the virtue of testimonial justice and argues that her politicized state of nature illustrates how reverse-engineering can feed into conceptual engineering. The chapter first examines how she de-idealizes her state-of-nature model just enough to bring social heterogeneity, power-relations, and politics into it, thereby raising the question of how far genealogical models should be de-idealized. Second, it is shown how Fricker’s use of pragmatic genealogy differs from that of the other genealogists in being primarily (...)

    This chapter argues that there is an under-appreciated tradition of pragmatic genealogy which cuts across the analytic–continental divide, and that these genealogies are dynamic models serving to reverse-engineer the points of ideas in relation to generic and local needs. After sharpening key notions such as ‘genealogy’, ‘living by an idea’, and ‘conceptual practice’, the pragmatic genealogical tradition that forms the topic of the book is brought into view and contrasted with other genealogical traditions. It is shown how this particular method (...)

    No academic freedom from epistemic responsibility.Maria Kronfeldner - forthcoming - In Vasiliki Kosta, Academic Freedom: Constructing Its Content for EU Law. Cambridge University Press.
    The aim of this paper is to give substance to the broadly accepted claim that the freedoms that scientists and scholars enjoy as members of the academic community come not just with moral responsibility but also with epistemic responsibility. The paper elucidates what it means that there is no academic freedom from epistemic responsibility. After a general Introduction, Section 1 introduces the notion of epistemic norms and the responsibility that results. Section 2 focuses on one basic epistemic norm and spells (...)

    Leveraging Machine Learning for Real-Time Short-Term Snowfall Forecasting Using MultiSource Atmospheric and Terrain Data Integration.Gopinathan Vimal Raja - 2022 - International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Science, Engineering and Technology 5 (8):1336-1339.
    This paper presents a machine learning-based framework for real-time short-term snowfall forecasting by integrating atmospheric and topographic data. The model uses real-time meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, along with terrain data like elevation and land cover, to predict snowfall occurrence within a 12-hour forecast window. Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models are employed to process these multi-source inputs, demonstrating a significant improvement in prediction accuracy over traditional methods. Experimental results show that the RF model (...)

    A Genetic History of Thought: Friedrich Nietzsche.Matthieu Queloz - 2021 - In The Practical Origins of Ideas: Genealogy as Conceptual Reverse-Engineering. Oxford: Oxford University Press. pp. 100-131.
    It is argued that in his Basel years, Nietzsche sketches primarily fictional and vindicatory genealogies of justice and truthfulness which bring him closer to the ‘English’ genealogists than he later cared to admit. Nietzsche’s significance for pragmatic genealogy is shown to be threefold: he diagnoses philosophers’ tendencies to dehistoricize and denaturalize their objects, and envisages, as a remedy for these failings, a systematic application of genealogy across our conceptual practices; he views concepts as growing out of needs, but, under the (...)

    Predicting Default Rates in Credit Scoring Models using Advanced Mining Algorithms.Gopinathan Vimal Raja - 2017 - International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology 6 (12):23188-23193.
    Credit scoring is vital for assessing borrowers' creditworthiness and managing risks in financial systems. Traditional credit scoring models often fail to capture non-linear relationships and handle high-dimensional data, leading to less accurate predictions. This research explores the application of advanced data mining algorithms, such as ensemble learning methods, neural networks, and hybrid models, for predicting default rates. Empirical findings reveal significant improvements in predictive accuracy and interpretability. Key takeaways emphasize the importance of effective preprocessing and feature engineering techniques in creating (...)

    When Genealogy is Called For.Matthieu Queloz - 2021 - In The Practical Origins of Ideas: Genealogy as Conceptual Reverse-Engineering. Oxford: Oxford University Press. pp. 48-70.
    When is a genealogical approach to our conceptual practices called for? In contrast to Miranda Fricker’s interpretation of pragmatic genealogies as elaborate ways of achieving what could equally be achieved with paradigm-based explanations that dispense with historicizing and fictionalizing, an account of pragmatic genealogy is developed which shows that it would be a mistake to replace pragmatic genealogies with paradigm-based explanations across the board. When dealing with self-effacingly functional practices, paradigm-based explanation misses important aspects that pragmatic genealogy is better suited (...)

    This paper examines freedom and the determination of the will in §4 of Hegel’s Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts, in light of Aristotle’s concept of leading arts (architektonikē technē) from Metaphysics A.1–2. Traditionally, intellect determines truth, while will determines action—a distinction central to Aristotle’s differentiation between theoretical and practical philosophy. Hegel, however, challenges this division, arguing that will is an extension of intelligence, integrating insight and goal-setting into a unified self-determination. By engaging with contemporary interpretations—Fulda, Pippin, and Pinkard—this paper explores (...)

Η έννοια του παιγνίου επιτρέπει μια ανοιχτή, μη δογματική προσέγγιση του Κόσμου, όπου το είναι και το γίγνεσθαι αλληλοδιαπλέκονται.

    This chapter locates the roots of the pragmatic genealogical tradition in David Hume’s explanations of artificial virtues as remedies to inconveniences. The motivation for Hume’s turn to genealogy is examined, and it is shown how viewing his accounts of the virtues of justice and fidelity to promises through the lens of pragmatic genealogy sets them apart from the Enlightenment genre of conjectural history. Four functions performed by Hume’s fiction of a counterpossible state of nature are identified, and it is shown (...)

    The Asymmetric Heartbeat of Quetico: A Structured Resonance Model of Boreal Ecosystem Dynamics.Devin Bostick - manuscript
    Abstract -/- Quetico’s ecosystem functions as a dynamically emergent resonance system rather than a static equilibrium. Its biodiversity is governed by a complex interplay of interacting sub-resonances, including lichen, trees, fish, fungi, and hydrodynamic cycles. The traditional view of boreal ecology relies on linear succession models, which assume ecosystems transition from disturbance to stability in a predictable manner. Other models attempt to incorporate stochastic biodiversity fluctuations, treating species distributions as the outcome of probabilistic chance events. Both perspectives fail to recognize (...)

    Why the Brain Cannot Be a Digital Computer: History-Dependence and the Computational Limits of Consciousness.Andrew Knight - manuscript
    This paper presents a novel information-theoretic proof demonstrating that the human brain as currently understood cannot function as a classical digital computer. Through systematic quantification of distinguishable conscious states and their historical dependencies, we establish that the minimum information required to specify a conscious state exceeds the physical information capacity of the human brain by a significant factor. Our analysis calculates the bit-length requirements for representing consciously distinguishable sensory "stimulus frames" and demonstrates that consciousness exhibits mandatory temporal-historical dependencies that multiply (...)

We argue that there is huge variation in cooperative behavior and that while much human cooperative behavior may be explained by invoking cognitively rich capacities, there is cooperative behavior that does not require such explanation. On both comparative and theoretical grounds, complex cognition is not necessary for forms of joint action, or the evolution (...)

With some claiming that secondary qualities don’t exist and others claiming that they do exist as qualia or properties of mind-independent objects (naïve realism). Considering this debate, my essay will aim to put forward a novel argument for the mere reality of secondary qualities in response to a position which denies their reality: (...)

    Trivalent Semantics for Conditional Obligations.Paul Egre, Lorenzo Rossi & Jan Sprenger - manuscript
    This paper provides a new framework for formalizing conditional obligations in natural language: it pairs a unary deontic operator with trivalent semantics for the indicative conditional and Kratzer's idea that the antecedents of conditionals restrict the scope of modals in the consequent. Combining these three ideas, we obtain a fully compositional theory of "if" and "ought'" that validates plausible principles for deontic reasoning. Moreover, it resolves classical challenges such as the "if A then ought A" problem, the paradox of the (...)

In agreement with some existing work on the topic, I contend that assertoric content spans several content categories and is possibly constituted by an utterance’s standing content and explicature. I also offer a detailed explanation of how and why assertoric content can be determined by an utterance’s particularized conversational implicature. I call (...)

    Cette étude a examiné le rôle indispensable des articles définis et partitifs dans l'apprentissage des langues, abordant divers aspects, notamment la définition, l'utilisation, les erreurs courantes, la comparaison, les stratégies d'enseignement, les défis d'apprentissage et les considérations culturelles et linguistiques associées à ces articles. Les articles définis spécifient des éléments connus, tandis que les articles partitifs indiquent des quantités indéterminées. Un enseignement efficace implique une pratique contextuelle et l'intégration de la technologie. Les défis incluent l'interférence de la langue maternelle et (...)

    Self-Visitation and the Metaphysics of Place, Causation, and Facts.Daniel S. Murphy - forthcoming - Analytic Philosophy.
    I explore how endurantists are to handle cases of synchronic bi-location, in which a thing bi-locates at a time (such as by time-travel). I argue that endurantists face significant pressure to posit distinct but structurally identical facts (DSIFs), and critique the fragmentalist approach to bi-location in Simon (2018). Both the positive argument and critique are animated by the observation that handling bi-location cases requires perspicuously describing their spatiotemporal and causal structure. Accordingly, the argument proceeds by considering how endurantists are to (...)

    Beyond the Veil of Vocationalism: Unveiling the Contradictions in Booker T. Washington’s Educational Philosophy.La Shun L. Carroll - 2025 - Filosofiya osvity Philosophy of Education 30 (2):141-161.
    This paper delves into the contrasting educational philosophies of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, two prominent figures who grappled with the question of Black progress in a society scarred by racial inequality. Washington, advocating for vocational training, championed economic self-sufficiency as the key to navigating a system rigged against Black success. Du Bois, conversely, championed a liberal arts education, emphasizing critical thinking and social critique as necessary tools for dismantling systemic barriers. This paper argues that while (...)

    Social reflection, performed role-conformant and role-discrepant responsibility, and the unity of responsibility: a social psychological perspective.Harald Mieg - 2015 - Soziale Systeme 19 (2):259-281.
    This paper contributes to the study of responsibility as a social fact (Durkheim), combining research from social psychology, philosophy, and sociology. The pivotal concept is social reflection that serves to better understand how responsibility is performed in different social situations. The paper presents an experiment, providing evidence for, inter alia, the central complexity hypothesis: Under a complex perspective (implying increased social reflection) more responsibility is performed than under a less complex perspective (implying less social reflection). The paper concludes with considerations (...)

    Verantwortung als Leistung.Harald Mieg - 1994 - Zeitschrift Für Sozialpsychologie 25 (3):208-2016.
    Verantwortung wird hier als Leistung verstanden und nach einer Idee von Luhmann (1964) als Bindung von (sozialer) Ungewissheit konzipiert. Es werden Ungewissheitskriterien erörtert. Dargestellt wird ein Experiment, das die grundlegende Komplexitätshypothese bestätigt: Je komplexer die Situationsinterpretation, umso mehr Verantwortung wird geleistet. Zudem wird gezeigt, daß Ungewissheits-Bindung als Verantwortung wahrgenommen wird. Konzept und Empirie werden sozialpsychologisch diskutiert.

    Quantitative Supervaluationism.Andrea Iacona & Samuele Iaquinto - forthcoming - Synthese.
    So far, the method of supervaluations has been mainly employed to define a non-gradable property of sentences, supertruth, in order to provide an analysis of truth. But it is also possible, and arguably at least as plausible, to define a gradable property of sentences along the same lines. This paper presents a supervaluationist semantics that is quantitative rather than qualitative. As will be shown, there are at least two distinct interpretations of the semantics — one alethic, the other epistemic — (...)

    Verantwortung: Moralische Motivation und die Bewältigung sozialer Komplexität.Harald Mieg - 1994 - Opladen: Westdeutscher Verlag.
    Verantwortung als Leistung. Moral und Verhalten scheinen beim Menschen ein generell schwieriges Verhältnis einzugehen. Ein Missverhältnis offenbart sich zumal dann, wenn man die Moral eines Individuums aus dessen Urteilen zu ergründen sucht. Anders verhält es sich mit Verantwortung. Fasst man Verantwortung als eine konkrete zwischenmenschliche Leistung auf, so zeigt sich: Verantwortung ist eine Funktion der Art und des Ausmaßes sozialer Reflexion der betroffenen Personen. Die Experimente und sozialpsychologischen Studien, die in diesem Buch vorgestellt werden, vermitteln einen Einblick in die soziale (...)

    The Philosophy of Wabi-Sabi in Japanese Culture and its Effects on Modern Lifestyle for Young Japanese. [REVIEW]Asal Fallahnejad - 2025 - Journal of Academic Ethics 1.
    This article explores the enduring influence of wabi-sabi, a traditional Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept rooted in the acceptance of imperfection, transience, and simplicity, on the lifestyles and mental well-being of contemporary Japanese youth. Originating in Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi celebrates the beauty of the incomplete, impermanent, and asymmetrical, offering a counter-narrative to modern society’s obsession with perfection, consumerism, and digital permanence. Through qualitative interviews and cultural analysis, this study examines how young Japanese individuals reinterpret wabi-sabi principles—such as kanso (simplicity), fukinsei (...)

    The concept of dignity is proliferating in ethical, legal, and policy discussions of AI, yet dignity is an elusive term with multiple philosophical interpretations. The authors argue that the unspecific and uncritical employment of the notion of dignity can be counterproductive for AI ethics.

    Aristotle’s Nature-Bound Theology in Metaphysics Λ.Samuel Meister - 2025 - Phronesis 70 (2):204-44.
    In Metaphysics Λ, Aristotle appeals to the prime mover: an unmoved mover that is the first moving cause of the world. Elsewhere, he calls the science concerned with the prime mover ‘theology’ (Meta. E.1, 1026a19). But what is the point of this science? On a common view, its purpose is to give an account of the prime mover itself, and especially to prove its existence. By contrast, I argue that Aristotle’s theology in Metaphysics Λ is ‘nature-bound’: it ultimately aims at (...)

    From Silencing to Extracted Testimony in Trials for Gender-Based Violence: A Performative Approach to Ideological Oppression.E. Volta - 2024 - Rivista di Estetica 87:139-155.
    Much recent work in feminist philosophy of language and epistemology has focused on how power constrains speech and testimony. This paper aims to highlight the flip side of silencing by looking at the productive power of sexist ideology in the context of the Italian gender-based violence crime trial. Building on José Medina’s performative account of epistemic injustice (2013; 2021), I argue that when sexist conceptual resources are used by the judge as an epistemic lens, they do ideological work by setting (...)

    Band Merch, Silencing and Aesthetic Community.Felix Bräuer - forthcoming - Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics.
    This paper addresses a question that has sparked heated debate while mostly flying under the philosophical radar: Should people stop wearing merch of bands they don’t listen to? I respond affirmatively. People should stop wearing merch of bands they don’t listen to because (i) doing so can silence people who wear band merch to communicate their taste in music and (ii) this silencing threatens the valuable role that wearing band merch plays in the aesthetic lives of people who share a (...)

    Just-in-Time Access for Databases: Harnessing AI for Smarter, Safer Permissions.Attaluri Vivekchowdary - 2023 - International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (Ijirset) 12 (4):4702-4712.
    In the evolving landscape of data security, traditional access control mechanisms often fall short in addressing dynamic and context-specific requirements. As data breaches become more sophisticated, organizations require more adaptive and intelligent access control strategies. This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Just-in-Time (JIT) access control models to enhance database security. By leveraging AI, we aim to create adaptive, context-aware permission systems that grant access precisely when needed, reducing the attack surface and mitigating unauthorized access risks. We (...)
